Over the past 24 hours, Whale Alert crypto tracking service has spotted three major crypto transactions, carrying a total of 185 million XRP. Half of this amount was shoveled in a single transfer.
In the meantime, the Ripple-affiliated token has been doing well and rising ahead of a possible Ripple win over the SEC in court.

Sharks and whales accumulating since late 2020
As reported by Santiment data aggregator earlier today, active XRP investors, who hold from 1 million to 10 million XRP, have been accumulating massive amounts of XRP since the end of 2020. Until November 2020, they had been selling heavily but then made a pivot.
Now, as the optimism regarding a possible victory of Ripple against the SEC in the legal field is rising, XRP/BTC has surged to a year-high at the 0.000025 price level.
